Your Personalized Marketing Plan

We utilize our team’s creativity and focus, with the power of the global Sotheby’s International Realty brand, to ensure we reach as many buyers as possible for your property. Before placing your home on the market, the Dean Team will meet with you to create a personalized marketing plan that best features your home to prospective buyers. Each property is unique and should be strategically marketed accordingly.

We will regularly communicate with you about the progress of the marketing plan, including feedback from open house guests and statistics from online traffic to determine if any changes to market conditions or comparable properties for sale warrant strategic modifications to the marketing plan.

How To Prepare Your Home To Sell

The overall goal in preparing a home to go to market is to create a warm, welcoming, and mostly neutral space that fosters a strong first impression for buyers. While the most important rooms to buyers tend to be the kitchen and bathrooms, the entire home and any outside space should be prepped as well. We are happy to help every step of the way, with advice, our eye for design and detail, and a little elbow grease!

• Thoroughly clean, declutter and depersonalize the property.
  • Organize storage spaces, including closets, table tops, shelves, patios, and balconies.
  • Remove any excess furniture.
  • Put away any personal photographs, knick-knacks or home decor that detracts from a strong first impression for buyers.
• Make any necessary minor repairs.
• Decide if new paint, flooring, or landscaping are necessary to create the best first impression for buyers and marketing materials.
  • Neutral colors are ideal for paint, including shades of gray or white with a touch of a secondary hue.
  • We have accompanied clients to stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s to pick out paint colors, carpeting, and tile flooring, and we are happy to help you too.
• Fully stage the property, partially stage the property, or rearrange existing furniture with minor interior decorating as necessary.
• We will schedule photo and/or video shoots to allow for enough time beforehand for preparation and also with enough time afterwards to create marketing materials before the first open house.
